Phongsaly Vacations from NT$27,442

Spotless room and EXCELLENT staff. Also, location was perfect for our needs (drugstore, nearby shopping mall, and row of restaurants on Edpanola Way). We plan to return.

Main road in front of hotel was closed. When we arrived, the concierge had no idea where to tell us to park. If they were transparent about it, ok. I would be ok. Then they said they are out of the 'free' wine, but could charge me $8 for a Heineken. Then couldn't get the elevator to work (we were on the 2nd floor thank God) The room was in good shape. The parking is what set off the chain for me. It's not hard to update a website. Or at least tell your staff what to say. Ended up parking in the City parking garage. I'd give it like a 75/100.

Average hotel. Noticed few things during our stay. - The staff outside the hotel is "valet only" staff. Don't expect anyone to help you with your bags. - One day, our room was not made up. Looks like they are "scheduled". Not sure if they do it daily by default. - Zero sound-proof. We heard literally everything our room neighbors said. - We didn't rent a car but if you do, expect a front parking of just 4-5 cars. So, don't take a car with you. - No late checkout available. Good things. - The pool is good.

Convenient hotel and excellent views and great service
